World Savings Day


This day is celebrated on 31 October. The first time it was celebrated was in 1924, in Milan, Italy.
It was created with the intent of informing people of all countries about the advantages of putting their money in banks instead of keeping it at home. Nowadays, it is considered the most solid form of saving money. Another of the purposes of the creation of this day was the intention of making consumers aware of the importance of saving money and regulating their expenses.
Many countries try every year, since then, that society, at least on this day, reflects upon this subject, to improve the possibility of a few gaining conscience and changing their habits.
Acting this way, they may get a higher standard of life and reinforce economy, turning it more secure. Perhaps this way all the world can surpass this crisis and avoid another to happen in the future.
